    safely-bump-deps.sh does not need to do impossibly hard things. It can just call npm: outdated, install --save-exact and/or install --package-lock-only. There's plenty of solutions…

    This is the opposite of "do one thing and do it well" unix philosophy. You don't need your package manager to invoke your hook. You need _your_ tooling to invoke your hook. ./safel…

    A lot of odd takes in the comments. I think the most correct take is that seeing a the top bun slightly off is more realistic and honest. Respecting your customers, even in adverti…

    Mos takes it even further, the top bun is completely off.

    The problem with MCP isn't MCP. It's the way it's invoked by your agent. IMO, by default MCP tools should run in forked context. Only a compacted version of the tool response shoul…

    What part of MCP do you think is over-engineered? This is quite literally the opposite opinion I and many others had when first exploring MCP. It's so _obviously_ simple, which is …

    Then here's an idea: instead of hiding that information, you can explain it to the patient. You have no authority to treat your patient like a child.

    It's easy to think of notation like shell expansions, that all you're doing is replacing expressions with other expressions. But it goes much deeper than that. Once my professor ex…

    This is a PR maneuver that Microsoft can bring to the table to strike a deal with Apple. They want everyone to think of the iOS + App Store as just distribution. They want everyone…

    It's disingenuous in that they are both platforms doing the same thing. Apple could argue that it's Microsoft's 30% cut that makes it impossible for developers to get their games p…

    I’m not saying render the scene. I’m saying take your measurements from where the camera is (or would be). It would require no extra infra or compute.

    It never made sense to me why they raycast from the car. Humans don't play this way. The car is an abstraction the model doesn't need to care about it. It literally doesn't matter …
